Last night, in a stargazing session for Jupiter-Saturn conjunction I talked with a astrophotographer. He is an expert about equatorial mounts, people ask for him modify then mechanisms of their mounts for improving them. I commented him about this project and his adviced me not use microsteps because somebody oneday told him they are bad. I hope that person is wrong. Have you heard something about that?
